''Where there's love, like in fairytales''
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: "Unleash The Love" has arab lyrics.

* RearrangeTheSong: All the songs which turned out to appear on ''Unleash The Love'' were rerecorded or remixed.
* Reggae: "Too Cruel" (in comparison to the 1978 version which was closer to Adult-Contemporary).
* ShoutOut: "Everyone's In Love With You" is dedicated to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a guru who was influential to The Beatles and part of The Beach Boys.
** "Pisces Brothers" references songs by George Harrison: "My Sweet Lord", "Here Comes The Sun" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
